#3 Kylian Mbappe should be the favourite for the Golden Boy award
Trending
Oh! What a revelation Kylian Mbappe has been this season! The 18-year-old French attacker, who broke into the Monaco first team last season has made it a habit of making headlines for his impressive performances and he put out another against Dortmund, helping side take the advantage going into the second leg.
While it looked like he had strayed offside for the first Monaco goal, his second goal was a reminder to the footballing fraternity about what an exciting prospect he is. The youngster picked up a loose pass from Lukasz Piszczek near the centre of the pitch and then left the Dortmund defenders looking at his heels.
However, with none of his teammates available to him as he approached the goal, Mbappe took it upon himself to fire it past Roman Burki with a sublime finish. In the process, he became the youngest ever player to score a brace in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.
With 21 goals and five assists across all competitions, the 18-year-old is the hottest young talent in Europe and it would come as a shock to us if he does not pick up the Golden Boy award this season.
